.Mixing Babies
An article has appeared ii: a
i.umber of papers recently written
bv a man who proposes to estao-
Lsh what he calls “international
baby exchange,” bis plan is to take
promising boya and girls of Amer
ican parentage and send them to
Europe to be reared and educat-d
in foreign families and bring the
children of the foreigners to this
country and pursue the same
course with them here. The object
is to bring up a generation of men
and women who will aid in bring
ing about the world’s peace and
more friendly relations between
the nation*. When tbe plan is to
be put into operation is not known
in fact so far there has been no
criticism for or against the scheme
and like many others of similar
import it may never be heard of
again.
There are, however, in English
history two instances of the chang
ing of babies, if we are to believe
what some vivid imaginations have
given to those who love exciting
readine. Excluding the cases of
the “pretenders” who have ap
peared to claim tbe throne, the
two referred to made a distinct
mark on the political and literary
history of England.
In the case of the eccentric Deen
Swift it has been claimed that
when a baby the nurse, while tak
ing him out for an airing, met
with an accident which resulted
in the death of the nhild. In the
horror of the reception she would
meet when she returned to the
home, she remembered a camp of
Gypsies in a nearby wood, and
from the wanderers she procured a
boy of the same age, and dressing
him in the dead boy’s clothes, re
turned with him to the house and
passed him off as the original
Swift child. His future life exhib
ited many traits that it was impos
sible to account for by his gentle
Girth, as neither father nor mother
had the characteristics which
made the great satirist such a fig
ure m his day.
In a recent book of Queen Eliza
beth, an auther named Bram Stok
er now comes forward and claims
that the “Good Queen Bess” was
not a queen but a “king.” The
Stoker story gives an historic ant
ting sufficient to make the “de
ciet” plausible, and states that
when Elizabeth was a little girl
and under wardship in the west
of Engand, she died just as her
father King Henry VIII was about
to make a paternal visit. The al
armed guardian, seeking to evade
the King’s anger, sought out a red
haired child and could find only a
red-haired boy in the village. This
boy was invested with the royal
clothing of Princess Elizabeth and
as time wore on it was less and less
practicable to tell the King of the
loss of his heir.
If this is the truth about the
woman ruler of England who
caused so many historians to des
pair of accounting for her many
vagaries and actions, no one can
say, but it will possibly be accept
ed by those who wish to excuse or
condemn her conduct without go
ing into any deeper investigation
of the cause.—Macon Telegraph.
“The Financial Department.’*
Wall Street, disturbed by the
hostility exhibited toward it
throughout the nation has evolved
a new plun for inviting the confi
dence of the coentry in its wares.
Me •re insidious and Bubtle than or
dinary, it is regarded by the as
tute financiers of New York as the
coup d’etat of a master mind. In
a dozen of the large national
magazines in which its influence
is dormant, it has caused to he in
augurated a “Financial Depart
ment” for the dissemination of
information concerning stocks and
bonds aud investments generally at
the head of this department in one
of the most widely circulated of
the publications is a former ward
of the late E H. Harrimun, while
those who are shaping ti.e policy
of the others have all been identi
fied for years with the interests
and are now in the full enjoyment
of its confidence.
With an unctious frankness that
dispels suspicion, the doctor, the
dominee, teacher and the small
merchant who have laid aside a
nest, egg for investment are
authoritivelv advised to put their
money in securities that have for
years been approved mediums for
stock exchange manipulation and
like Mark Twain’s dog, have a
reputation principally for their
up# am downs. Condemning se- j
curit;*-s f established merit which :

Wa 1 str-*-* it w self confident
and proud of its latest ach’eve
mctit as an accelerator of public
sentiment looks optomistically ou
the future. What it* most viru
lent critic says of it, matters not
jso long as its treasury is being
steadily replenished bv those who
heed its advice.
It can stand censure but it can
not stand a lean bank roll. So
long as the Trusts’ “financial de
partments” flourish and investores
are persuaded by them into sur
rendering tbeir power of dis
crimination betweeu good and |
bad, Wall Street will have no
trouble on this score. In the sing
ular eagerness shown by intelli
gent persons to follow the “can
ned” advice of •'financial depart
m-iits" cpenly conducted in the;
mt rests of Wall Street and it’s
pet securities, there is a reminder
of that trite remark of Bobby
Burns : “Wad some one the giftie
gie us to see ourselves a3 others
see us.”

The tendency of public senti
ment is towards free trade almost
with those countries which allow
reciprocal trade relations: espec
ially is there a growing sentiment
in favor of free trade among ail
the American continent.
This would reduce the price of
living expenses and would besides
